I am a Helper Monkey.

Today, I taught my boss how to open a jpeg in PAINT and use the tools there to edit the photos. (Something that I've been doing for folks in this office for a while now.)

I taught him how to clone items and repeat them, to edit out undesirable elements.

I taught him how to sample a color and use it to edit out lines of undesirable elements.

I taught him how to use the spraypaint feature to mock up the irregular pixelization of colors.

I taught him how to clone irregular shapes of grass to avoid showing the squared off edges of your cloned materials.

And I taught him how to paste something and not show the unwanted areas of the cloned item.


I think it was one of the first times in the three years that I've been here that he recognized that I had a very handy skill that was actually useful to the office.

I haven't seen him this impressed since he discovered that I can accurately forge signatures.

Anyways, I was a good helper monkey today.
And I taught my boss something new.
Which made it a very good day.
